OK General, where are you forming up your regiment?
If Patriots of old were here why did we not see them after Ruby Ridge or Waco? Why do we have our fighting men and women put in harms way whee they have as much to fear from JAG as they do the enemy?
Ruby Ridge and Waco were spun very well, enough to diffuse a patriotic response. Generally speaking patriots are not going to be gung-ho to take up arms for White Supremacist/Nazis or Pedophiles/drug dealers (how they spun these acts of tyranny).
Of course we still have people that believe whatever the government/media tell them, even good conservatives.
